The prospect of losing the one you love and having to pick up the pieces of what is left in your life is one of the most painful parts of being human. In Ned Benson’s “The Greatest Hits” the experience of watching this premise play out is painful, but not in the way the film intends.
The film is built around Harriet (Lucy Boynton) who loses her boyfriend Max (David Corenswet) in a car accident. Devastated by his demise she clings to the songs that provided the soundtrack to their relationship. When she listens to them she is literally pulled back to the moment in time they first heard it together.
